Clearpath Robotics new autonomous warehouse robot can carry payloads up to 750 kilograms

If lugging 750-kilogram payloads around warehouse floors isn’t your idea of fun, good news: There’s a new robot that’ll do it for you. Clearpath Robotics - a company founded in 2009 by four University of Waterloo graduates who initially sought to develop a robot that could detect and remove land mines today announced the Otto 750, a vehicle designed to autonomously transport pallets, racks, and other medium-sized payloads through obstacle-strewn environments.
It joins the Otto 100 which is designed to carry 100-kilogram loads and the Otto 1500 which carries up to 1,500 kilograms in Clearpath’s product lineup. We realized the Otto 750 was a Goldilocks solution,” Clearpath CEO Matt Rendall said in a statement. Our customers have been asking for something just right for quite a while, and now we finally have it.
